Actually, that new file transfer feature, Air Drop, that Apple announced is called Wifi Direct. The first phone to have it was the Galaxy S2 over two years ago. It\'s been on nearly every Android phone since.

Actually S-voice came out as an alternative to siri. They took the idea of Google voice and expanded on it yes but I don't think you guys understand that s-voice is on Android. Google voice is on Android. Android allows this because android is open source and Manufacturers on Android can do things like this. What is great about android is the fact that you can use whatever option you are comfortable with

I mentioned this in one of Saturday's articles but I'll repeat it. Vlingo was first as far as digital assistant apps, sometime during 2010. Samsung's Nexus S from mid 2011 had it preloaded and somewhat integrated. S Voice is built off of Vlingo. As far as the name goes, look at Samsung's preloaded apps, S Voice, S Memo, etc. That's an easy way to identify their homebuilt apps, much as Apple uses an "i" before everything, Samsung uses an "S". So in reality Samsung's Nexus S had a digital assistant preloaded a full year before Siri was introduced. And it was available for download on Google Play (Android Market back then) 1.5-2 years before the i4s launched.

The irony is, you're right. EVERYONE still owns an IPhone everywhere I look, if it's not the S4 it most definitely is the IPhone 4/4s and 5, 3 generations. I kinda like IOS 7 , who cares what the fanboys say?

Exactly MistB. I know apple adopted some things from android, but in the end who cares. I credit android for pushing the envelope so far, and covering their bases so well that whatever someone does...it's android inspired. Oh well I love, and use both. Haters gonna hate!

By society do you mean android society, or society in general? Surely MistB can't be a humiliation to the general society for speaking the 100% spot on truth. I drive for county transit in the LV, and I constantly look at what people are talking on, and MistB is rite. If its not an s3, or s4 it's an iPhone model.

And all I've seen you do is troll Nokia and Windows phone 8 articles. You are a humiliation beyond society, Android troll. Hey, I'm an Android user too but be respectful of other peoples' opinions, it's called free speech for a reason. Because i happened to give compliments to I am an ISheep, Like I really care about your terminology toward me and what you assume what platform I like.

Honestly, I\'ve been noticing lately that I see a lot more Galaxy S3/4 and Note devices than iPhones. Was in Disney World back in April, that\'s when it first hit me. The ratio was really noticeable. Very few iPhones, tons of Galaxies.

You talking to me or him, because like it or not, brainwashing is a part of consumerism which you the consumer are adept to eventually, so yes, you are equally as brainwashed by visiting this site supporting the brand you vote with your wallet.

Don't know what's worse, you dumping your money into a company that have been lacking feature for years, when a cheaper alternative, which said feature already included, was there for you. Or, you actually trying to use the fact that you finally have gotten said feature as a bragging right. Welcome to the modern time. I hope you enjoy the new feature. I have, for a few years now.

Key lime pie isn't out yet? Troll... Anyways I actually like this! It's a nice refresh. I still prefer android. It has a lot more to offer than ios. A visual overhaul can't compare to sheer functionality and customization

The droider fanboys have been silenced, and now they can only hate. Waaaaa waaaaaa waaaa droiders want a binky. The real android users, the mature ones will understand appreciate what apple has done. DSD GMR1 PAU where y'all at.

Please, Carrier crap is only a problem in America where phone carriers basically still own your phone after you purchase it, anywhere else in the world, bloat can be removed simply by changing the CSC when you purchase the phone.

Yeah, customer satisfaction, if I paid $500 for a phone that does so little, I'd try to convince myself I was happy with my purchase too.

Nexus gets all Android updates, Major flagships get huge updates and non-flagships can root. Unlike iOS, Android doesn't need to churn out updates every week to fix dumb bugs like keyboard static or something.

I see nothing that would make me want to purchase an iPhone. All they've added was late to the party and flat, Metro looking in the process. And even if you like the Metro styling, it's still only a 4" screen.

hey darkk if that's you in the pic. ...shouldn't you be taking care of your grandkids by now and keep an eye on that woman who knows what she's doing while you're commenting ...oh maybe she's facebooking with her HS sweethearts.....please go over to cnet.... like.. right now.

She's actually at work. We just got off the phone video chatting. My sons 16, and he's been raised properly he keeps it zipped up so I have no grand kids. And at 6'5" 235 and about 7% body fat, I look half my age. It's called taking care of your health and fitness, you should try it. Nice attempt to insult me though due to your jealousy, and anger at my liking ios7.

You're really disrespectful.... and you're making a dumba$$ of yourself... growup you're representing your little android fag$ here and from the looks of it you guys just cant stand the fact that Apple is still in the game and one of the underdogs
